http://www.disclosurenewsonline.com/2015/08/01/this-issues-print-headlines-august-special-edition-2015/#commentsSun, 02 Aug 2015 02:47:43 +0000http://www.disclosurenewsonline.com/?p=67356The third of many print editions running every other week is now on stands, and once again, this one is full of amazing articles you won't read anywhere else...not just because mainstream media outlets are shutting down all over, but because there are some things they just don't touch, and what they do, there are aspects that they just don't tell.

Kinda like several of our front page articles.

Without keeping you wading through a whole bunch of preamble, we're going to just jump right into what Print Headlines are: A preview of what's in the current print edition, presented in sections (Front Page, Back Page [our second front page], Pages 2 & 3, Features if there are any (generally running on page 12 or 13 or both, as in this issue), Egypt, Heartland and Central, and then Op-Ed.) They are presented by dateline first (where the material in the article took place), headline with link to the e-Edition version, and a brief synopsis in our own snarky Disclosure style. The headline links will take you right to the article on the e-Edition page if you're an online member; if you're not, they'll take you to the sign-up page, where you can get either a full month's access for $5.99 (a real bargain, as we're doing a new issue every other week right now!) or a 24-hour pass for only $2.99 (be sure you follow the instructions explicitly so you don't experience the glitch that sometimes hits new subscribers). And now, without further ado...here are THIS ISSUE'S PRINT HEADLINES.

FRONT PAGE

SALINE/JOHNSON COs.--Missing girl found, man charged with sex offenses: How did a guy from Missouri hook up with a 12-year-old in Harrisburg, then come to allegedly have sex with her in the Shawnee National Forest? This is one of those articles that shows you can't be too careful with monitoring your kids...and you certainly shouldn't be.

LAWRENCE CO.--Inmate sues prison personnel: Have people been rather tense out at Lawrence Correctional Center outside of Sumner the past few years...? You betcha, and this would be the reason why. While everybody else in the state was hoping this would just blow over, on July 7, it did not...and we have the full story right here.

Deeboy, disparaged deputy

EDGAR CO.--Deputy bankrupt: We're not telling you something about Dee Burgin you don't already know if we're meaning "morally" bankrupt. But we're not; we're meaning financially bankrupt. Which isn't that unusual of a thing these days; a lot of us have suffered a bankruptcy, and might someday again. But the "lot of us" I'm talking about aren't public officials entrusted to give it their all for the public paychecks taken by force of threat from the rest of us private sector dweebs. And we expect those who receive public paychecks to be a little more responsible with what's being taken from us...and when they're not, it makes it to the front page.

Gerald Foster

RICHLAND CO.--IEPA onto Foster: The article we held since early June when the case was filed, hoping to see how it was going to shake out; the Illinois Attorney General is AGAIN getting onto Gerald Foster, and their "getting onto him" seems to coincide with a recent arrest. So this begs the question: Is David Hyde pushing Foster off onto the IAG to be dealt with financially instead of forcing his DUIs through the system..? Because he's still got that one languishing since 2007. And no, we're not writing about any other supposed junkyard Foster has; we're only mentioning the ones the IAG has mentioned, because that's what's in court docs, for those who were wondering.

SALINE CO.--A night for Danton: Photo coverage of the event from this past Sunday in Harrisburg, wherein police chief Whipper Johnson helped raise money for a local autistic boy.

BACK PAGE

CLAY/MARION COs.--Chief's son's party makes waves: After a crazy, 80-plus-something-comment thread was pulled from our Facebook page back in early July (and no, we didn't pull it; it appeared when we were in delivery and we simply let it go until it got out of control and someone involved in it complained enough to have Fecesbook pull it), our interest was piqued as to what actually happened at Flora Police Chief John Nicholson's kid's party out in rural Marion County back in June. We researched it, and this is what we found out.

WILLIAMSON CO.--Fosse out of county process-serving job: Much speculation surrounding the reason why Jim Fosse no longer works for the Williamson County Sheriff's Office as a process server; we researched this one, and while many simply won't believe it (because, you know...Marion. There HAS to be something corrupt and underhanded going on, right?), this is what we learned. If it changes in the future, we'll report it. But for now, this is all there is to know, according to officials.

LAWRENCE CO.--Youngster sues Lawrence County sheriff after arrest and alleged illegal detention: Here's one that's going to slip right through the cracks in the floor that's barely supporting local mainstream media, just like the one about the prison. Because, you know...they can't produce anything bad about the hand that feeds. And as much as we try to get along with the local constabulary in Lawrence - and we do get along with them - we have to write about this kind of stuff when it comes up.

PAGE 2

SALINE CO.-Messed-up misdemeanors this month in Saline: We opted to put the big Saline County misdemeanor report on page 2 because...why would a woman let her barely-two-year-old, just-walking child get out into the intersection of Poplar Street on a main drag through Harrisburg? We don't have the answer to that, but it makes for an interesting piece, as do the rest of the misdemeanors compiled into one article. Enjoy our newest feature in the every-other-week offerings.

PAGE 3

RICHLAND CO.--Olney man sues popular restaurant for 'unhealthful food' after strange experience: We say it in the article - This guy, like a dozen hundred other people in the 618, probably didn't know that you can't eat shrimp tails, and that when you order shrimp, especially in a Mexican dish, you need to make sure they're pulled off the little shrimp bodies in the meal, otherwise, you could choke on them and they'll cut up your throat. Now, after this lawsuit, it's a pretty sure bet EVERY Mexican restaurant in the 618 will have to carry a "CAUTION - Shrimp tails" warning...although there's no indication whatsoever in the lawsuit that that's what dude swallowed that cut up his esophagus. In fact, he never says, in the suit, what it is that DID. Which leads us to guess: Shrimp tails. We'll see; somebody will be calling us whining about it; that's more than a pretty sure bet.

HARDIN CO.--Defunct Reed's locations targeted by IAG--More gas tank woes, these in Hardin County: And the headline says it all. Bottom line is: The state's hard up for money, so they're going after any and every body they can, and telling people they're going to sue them for $25,000 or $50,000 per violation...and settling for a few measly thousand each so they can make next week's payroll. In the meantime, the little guy suffers. Way to go, Illinois.

SALINE CO.--Rosiclare man jailed after threatening to carve up attorney: Was it all an act? Or does this guy have an organic or a drug-induced problem in his brain? Whatever the case, it'd be a funny situation if it weren't so...well, dangerous and creepy. Read it to see what we're talking about.

WABASH CO.--Mt. Carmel thief charged with beating six-year-old: While most prosecutors in downstate can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that when a child repeatedly says she's being beaten, that means she's being beaten, they apparently don't have that issue in Wabash: Cassandra Goldman charges a guy for striking a 6-year-old with a clothes hanger.

RICHLAND CO.--Meltdown leads to trashed police cruiser: This guy. Man, when we get a new prosecutor in Richland and this guy goes off the deep end again, he's not gonna get out unscathed...simply because it's going to be "not David Hyde" prosecuting.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE (Letters): Doesn't like duly-appointed commissioner in Mt. Carmel; wondering about that 'murdering' gun in Carbondale; wants more info on Bobby Downen matter.

BACK OVER YOUR TALES: From the pages of the August Special Edition 2010 - Todd Fort is arrested and charged with child sex abuse; the Earp/Trout bunch cause trouble in Olney; Raymond Martin's federal jury trial is moving closer to kickoff; a pastor in a relatively-new church in Lawrenceville and his wife are busted for dope; Old Shawneetown Street Rally is featured; lots and lots and lots more.

Remember...an issue every other week at least until September...Those who are print subscribers are getting a bonus...those who have an online membership for $5.99 a month are also getting a bonus...so sign up today and get BONUSED!

http://www.disclosurenewsonline.com/2015/07/27/equality-man-charged-with-climbing-in-womans-window/#commentsTue, 28 Jul 2015 01:46:08 +0000http://www.disclosurenewsonline.com/?p=67187GALLATIN CO.— An Equality man with a history of DUI drugs and generally being a pain in the arse has been charged with Unlawful Violation of an Order of Protection.

Statements and police reports allege that on June 28, Kyle Richard Stricklin, 32, of the 200 block of North Rowan St., Equality, violated an OP entered against him and served on him May 20, 2015 when he made contact with Melanie A. Stricklin, age 33.

According to Ms. Stricklin “Kyle came to my house on Sunday. He climbed through the living room window. I asked him to leave numerous times and he wouldn’t leave. I called 911 and he left at that time.”

Saline Co. history

In Saline County Kyle has a lengthy record of petty crimes and misdemeanor DUI Drug conviction.

He was charged January 23, 2005 with one count of Domestic Battery. That charge was later dismissed.

On November 12, 2006 he was convicted of Interference with the Performance of a Police Officer and fined $385.

A December 4, 2006 Disorderly Conduct conviction cost him another $262, while a

February 5, 2007 conviction for Damage to Property left his bank account short an additional $389.

On April 23, 2007 he was convicted of Driving Under the Influence of Drugs for which he was sentenced to court supervision for 12 months and ordered to pay $2,878 in fines and fees.

A plenary Order of Protection was granted on behalf of Melanie Ann Sisk against Stricklin August 6, 2007.

It is not clear if this Melanie Ann Sisk is also Melanie Ann Sisk-Stricklin.

Kyle shelled out another $1,670 on March 17, 2008 for Failure to Notify of Damage to Unattended Vehicle.

No bond information was available in the case.

Disorderly duo

In other and unrelated disorderly news, a couple out-of-towners found themselves charged and paying into county coffers for their alleged misdeeds.

First up is Travis A. Schmitt, age 20, of Scottsburg, Ind.

Mr. Schmitt is said to have been at the Lincoln Street Pub on the morning of July 4 at 1:30 a.m. when he was then and there charged with performing some act that local lawmen deemed disorderly and therefore was charged with such conduct for the unknown act.

After posting $150 cash, Mr. Schmitt went along his merry way.

Next up in the disorderly queue is Justin Poynter, 55, of Mountain Home, Ariz.

Poynter is said to also have been at the Lincoln Street Pub on the same date and at the same time as Mr. Schmitt and is said to have also indulged in such conduct as to be deemed disorderly.

It is unknown if the two men’s disorderly conduct had anything to do with each other or if they were merely random acts of disorderly-ness.

Poynter also continued on his path in life, but only after forking over $150 in cash.

We're not as exhausted as we thought we would be, nobody on staff has killed or maimed anyone, and the news...well, the news keeps pouring in and filling up the pages. We should've done this a long time ago.

Now the question is...will we keep it up? And if so, for how long? Right now, it's looking like we're going to do this until at least the end of August. Beyond that, we might go back to a three-weeker every once in awhile, even while on vacation. With all the newspaper offices shuttering all around us, and reports that the ones that are continuing to publish are "too expensive for what they are" and they "don't have anything in them," who knows...? Weekly isn't out of the realm of possibility. We've done it before, in a previous life; it can be done again.

In the meantime...here's this awesome issue; we worked hard, put it together in a matter of days, actually. Not as typo-filled as the July Special Edition, so you won't have fun picking them all out...but boy the articles. These are great, you're going to enjoy them. Print headlines are given to you in order of section (Page 1, Back Page - which is our second front page - Pages 2 and 3, Features if there are any, Egypt, Heartland and Central, and finally Op-Ed). They are presented by dateline (the county or city of the coverage area where the material in the article is from), headline (which links to the e-Edition article), and then a brief synopsis of the material covered, done in our own snarky Disclosure style. And now, we present to you...THIS ISSUE'S PRINT HEADLINES!

PAGE 1

EDWARDS CO.--Massive bond set for alleged dope mover: The follow-up to the arrest we covered here a couple of weeks ago of accuse meth-mover Brad Beehn...with a little extra. There's some stuff in this article that we've known as made privy to us YEARS ago and have never brought out...now, it's time, and it's pertinent. And believe me when we tell you...there's more. Be watching as this unfolds...especially if Beehn lawyers up and wants to make a big defense.

Kyle Eichorn, moron

SALINE CO.--ENTERS PLEA: Home-grown Hardin County punk Kyle Eichorn is now a convicted felon at age 19. We're pretty sure, in his hubris, arrogance and sheer ignorance, that this doesn't impact him one its, since it's not HIS $20,000 that's going toward his fines and fees...it's likely yours, mine and ours. How does that work? Read this article and see.

Joshua Eugene Millman.EUGENE??!?

CLAY CO.--Meth kingpin caught in second county: Josh Millman, looking closer to 57 than 37, has been busted again, this time in Clay County...where it's likely he's not going to get any more slack cut than his buddy Beehn will be in Edwards. Boys, boys...you shoulda stayed in Richland, where the prosecutors only pretend they're doing something about you. Maybe now the feds will get involved.

HARDIN CO.--The wall came crumbling down: Collapse of the wall surrounding the big hill that once held the old Downey law building...kinda leads into the whole page 8 story about the big pill bust in Hardin.

David Hyde. And his chins. None of whom have done their jobs in Richland County.

RICHLAND CO.--Is he going? That's what everybody in Richland County seems to be asking, as we'd learned about two weeks ago that it was Richland County prosecutor David Hyde's intention to resign from his office. We caught up with some public officials, and in this article is what they had to say about it.

BACK PAGE

SALINE CO.--Shooting accident leaves bitter recrimination: The shooting accident involving Nathan Hill that happened a week before deadline is featured here for our print readers; and online readers might want to read it, too, since it does contain material not featured online...as is our practice here.

Mychal Bush-King, Clay County Sheriff's Office mugshot

CLAY CO--Bush-King enters quiet plea in very public child porn case: For all the griping Mychal Bush-King's buttlickers did when he was first arrested, there sure isn't a PEEP out of anyone about his guilty plea to both county as charged. I guess now that he's going to be a registered sex offender (which many believe should have happened YEARS ago, but I guess it's a good thing it happened after he reached majority age, otherwise the general public might never have been alerted to him) nobody really wants to associate with him...?

GALLATIN CO.--Eldorado pair part of Gallatin drug pinch: Quite a few people were wondering what was going on with this dope bust. It's an interesting trio, to say the least, with crossover crims from Saline County in the mix.

SALINE CO.--Sex predator charged with grabbing local cashier: Well now here you have the mentality of a sex predator. It's not bad enough that he's out and about and trying to assimilate into society...he has to go allegedly groping. I mean, seriously.

CRAWFORD CO.--So what is the big deal about Adam Livvix? He's not got ANY active cases save the one in Crawford...and he's not got much of a record anywhere else except to have been charged (most were dismissed). So why is he being dumped back in OUR laps in Robinson?

CENTRAL

EDWARDS CO.--Albion man charged after girlfriend says he bit her face: Typical abusive man in a relationship...it goes on and on and on and on and then when the girl finally goes for an OP, you read all this stuff and you think, shouldn't you have left like about 15 incidents ago...?

Darrell Newman

CLAY CO.--Rinard man makes repeat appearance: Ordinarily, Darrell Newman is the one on the giving end when it comes to criminal activity. In this piece, however, he's definitely on the receiving end. Doesn't mean he's not giving a repeat appearance...just in a different capacity.

LAWRENCE CO.--Major meth bust in Sumner: Coverage of the bust that nabbed the Georges, Grove and Ahlfield, and which, when looking at the former's mugshot, begs the question: Is it trendy for dopers to be looking like they need to be wearing a turban these days?

HAMILTON CO.--Teens face $10,000 cash bond in wake of recent burglaries: They say in some of our downstate counties that "the kids don't have nuthin to do. Thet's why they awl git in trubble." Except that there's some kind of teen center in McLeansboro. So under this circumstance, that's not a viable excuse.

BACK OVER YOUR TALES: From the July 2010 edition of DisclosureHaven Kirkpatrick is charged in sex case in Wayne County, Lil Nate Turrentine aka Paint-strip Boy is charged in a mob beating over dope; former ISP trooper Steve Poe arrested intoxicated; Lawrence County sheriff's race; information on the confidential sources who busted Raymond Martin; Roger Hutchison busted in Saline; Tyler Roberts, hotshot sports star in Mt. Carmel, charged in theft; Bridgeport paper swan song signaled by purchase by a chain; the death of Matthew Gene Howard in Raleigh is covered; Winifred Moss driving Nathan Lawrence's car gets it forfeited; a big gun rally is held in Fairfield; Richland County considers pseudoephedrine ban to address ongoing dope problems instead of insisting that prosecutor David Hyde simply follow through with charges instead of letting them all drop; Brian Lewis of Louisville, former employee of Channel Bio seed company, explains how he got in trouble with the feds; Shannon Burton enters a plea to child sex abuse; tragedy at Peabody's Willow Lake Mine; 13-year-old tart takes off with Willow Hill moron, gets reported as abducted; badge bunny Brittany Lane has OP filed against her by an ex; Terry Burdin opens fresh food store in Grayville; Mike Melendez at the heart of a big drug sweep in White County; Pulaski County sheriff Randy Kern aka "The Boob Bandit" activities are examined.

]]>http://www.disclosurenewsonline.com/2015/07/16/this-issues-print-headlines-july-august-2015/feed/0Eldorado pair part of Gallatin drug pinchhttp://www.disclosurenewsonline.com/2015/07/13/eldorado-pair-part-of-gallatin-drug-pinch/
http://www.disclosurenewsonline.com/2015/07/13/eldorado-pair-part-of-gallatin-drug-pinch/#commentsTue, 14 Jul 2015 01:42:29 +0000http://www.disclosurenewsonline.com/?p=66806GALLATIN CO.— It has been widely accepted that stupidity has no geographical boundaries, and apparently that includes those who dabble in illicit drugs.

A trio has been charged in Gallatin County after authorities say they were found July 1 to have drugs and needles in their possession.

Jerry A. Allen, 36, of Golden Hill Rd., Shawneetown, Lori Christine Rovito, 43, of Upchurch Street, Eldorado, and Tony W. Cullison, 27, also of Eldorado, have all been charged with one count each of Unlawful Possession of Drug Paraphernalia alleging they had a pipe in their possession with intent to use said smoking device to inhale cannabis; Unlawful Possession of Hypodermic Syringe, adapted for the use of controlled substances; and Unlawful Possession of Cannabis 2.5-10 grams.

Allen faces an additional charge of Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine.

Rovito convicted felon out of Saline

Rovito was convicted in Saline County April 27, 2009, of Driving Under the Influence of Drugs for which she was sentenced to court supervision for 12 months and drug treatment.

When she screwed that up exactly one year later, April 27, 2010 she was re-sentenced to probation for another 12 months.

In another Saline County case, she was sentenced to the Illinois Department of Corrections for five years October 19, 2012 after she was found guilty of Theft $300-$10,000.

Rovito currently has a pending case in Saline from March 21 in which she is charged with Unlawful Possession of Meth 15-100 grams and Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance (prescription medication).

It doesn’t appear, if Ravioli or Rovito or whatever she’s called even bothered to go, that the drug treatment did much good.

Taxpayers should get their money back.

Cullison waiting in the wings

It appears that Mr. Cullison is waiting in the wings for his first drug felony as he also has a pending drug case in Saline County.

His was filed May 13, and alleges four counts including Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance (prescription medication), Unlawful Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Driving Suspended and Unlawful Possession of Cannabis.

Cash bond was set in Allen’s case at $2,500.

No bond information was available for Ms. Raviolo or Mr. C.

Kentucky teen suspect in York theft

A Kentucky teen with no apparent connection with the above-mentioned trio of drug suspects has been charged with Theft, Criminal Damage to Property and Criminal Trespass to Real Property.

According to information filed in the case, on June 5, Charles J. Johnson, 18, of 96 State Road 2835 Morganfield, Ky., damaged windows in order to enter a building belonging to Tim York, located at 163 West Shawnee Ave., Shawneetown, and while there took a mattress and light bulbs, possibly to illuminate his sleepless nights while he situated himself with a better bed, who knows.

4:38 PM----The Greater Olney Internet Outage of Summer 2015 struck sometime between 3:15 and 3:30 PM Central time July 10th. Olneans from all walks of life have been deprived of Interweb services, and are resorting to text measures to communicate between tribal members. Attempts to contact the Interweb provider to complain about not having Interweb have so far been futile, since the number to contact them can not be found on the Interweb, since the Interweb is unavailable. Used some time to re-label mislabeled music files. Connected laptop to see if perhaps computer had virus, laptop is also functionless. Attempted to have Louie catch a bird to tie a message to the bird's leg and send for help...Louie wouldn't get off of the table.

4:42 PM----Interwebs available over phone (I just checked) but I don't have a service plan so I didn't log in, just accessed the facebook log in screen for a moment. Starting to feel a little shaky...may have to buy a Commodore and pretend...(Unknown)----78787878787878787878787878787878787878(message from Louie, not sure of time)4:53 PM----Louie doesn't understand why I am not currently throwing things at the computer screen and cursing under my breath...he said normally I am much more active...I tried to explain I couldn't see anyone being (insert label) due to no Interwebs...he stood up, imitated a dog winding itself, laid back down and went to sleep again.5:00 PM----Still no connection. Beginning to break into cold sweat.5:45 PM----Still no Interwebs. Looked outside. Pandemonium in the streets. People running around screaming, yelling, holding objects and asking others "Do you like this? Do you LIKE this?" Saw several people trying to share pictures from their wallets with others.6:01 PM----Turned Interweb box off and on several times. Still nothing.6:56 PM----Just informed by text Interweb should be back soon. Searched everywhere. Couldn't find 'like' button.7:17 PM----Still no Interwebs. Message may have been a Communist plot.7:24 PM----Louie says maybe someone bumped the "paws" button.8:50 PM----Frontier states the problem "is being worked on". The person I spoke with mentioned a probable broken fiber-optic line, but has no clue when it will be repaired.9:10 PM----So it isn't only Olney, it is a large outage area. At least I am not alone.9:14 PM----Lucky people with NewWave communications still have Interweb service...need a good hacking program...to get into a server/modem...but can't connect to the Interwebs to get one 9:24 PM----I wonder if anyone misses me?2:02 AM----July 11th. Still "no estimated time of the resolution" of this problem acording to recorded message from Frontier. This is beyond funny now.4:57 AM----Just getting ready to jump in the van to go steal Interweb to post MCM when Interweb is fixed. 4:59 AM----Returning to plan A, Interweb went back out5:32 AM----Come back from stealing Interweb, Interweb is fixed.

SHAWNEETOWN, Ill.--An altercation at a Fourth of July get-together last night in Shawneetown lead to a bit of a serious injury for a local man, but it appears that no charges will be filed.

A party on Illinois Avenue in that Gallatin County village was the scene of a fight after a young man, Michael J. "Rocky" Bonneville, 25, reportedly got drunk and crashed a party there.

One thing lead to another, and Bonneville got into a fistfight with a man whose age was around 60 or older, who sustained a punch to the face.

Bonneville, however, got the worse end of the deal when he fell on a broken bottle and bloodied himself up. This lead to rumors that he'd been "stabbed" or "gutted." It also lead to a rumor that he had been jumped on by four or five different guys as the older man landed a heavy punch on Bonneville's head. However, neither one was true. The "four or five guys" were actually inserting themselves in the midst of the fight to pull Bonneville off the other guy. Bonneville had already sustained a concussion with a punch.

Air Evac was called to take Bonneville to St. Mary's in Evansville for treatment of his injuries; he was supposed to be released this evening.

While everyone was asked about the incident (questioned), no one wanted to make a formal statement and no one wished to file charges, so Bonneville, who reportedly "only acts up when he's drinking" is going to get to go home.

However, he is on parole out of Pinckneyville on charges out of Gallatin and Saline counties, and he is, as a condition of his parole, not supposed to be imbibing. So a report has been made to his parole officer. We'll see what happens with that.

A two-week turnaround, as we call it, is getting to be like our three-week papers were...easier to do each time. And so, we'll continue the every-two-week paper until one of two things happen: We decide we don't like it, or we decide that maybe, JUST MAYBE, the time has come for Disclosure to change format...and go to a weekly. If we do that, we'll have a few changes, including pricing on the cover as well as subscriptions. We'll likely remain on a tabloid size, since it's easier for our vendors. Or....we'll do what we were thinking about doing three years ago and splitting north and south, with two papers. Whatever the case, we want to make YOU happy...and judging by response to the last issue, we sure did to it with that one. Now, we're here to tell you about this one....with THIS ISSUE'S PRINT HEADLINES. Print headlines are what we produce every issue so you can see what the print version has in it; as well, it links over to our e-Edition, which is how you can read the whole paper online if you so desire. Print headlines are presented by dateline first (the county or town of the coverage area where the material in the article took place), followed by a headline link, and a brief synopsis in our own snarky Disclosure style. They are segmented out by Front page, Back page (second front page), Pages 2 and 3, Features if any, then Egypt, Heartland and Central, and finally Op-Ed.

And now, without any further ado, here's THIS ISSUE'S PRINT HEADLINES.

PAGE 1

RICHLAND CO.--OP issued as child abuse alleged: In one of the most bizarre--and yet, most Richland County--articles we've produced in a while, here we have a guy who's trying to expose the fact that a late-20s-something is living with and presumably having relations with a 15 year old, known commonly in the state of Illinois as Criminal Sexual Abuse (statutory rape)...and instead of something being done, he gets slapped with an OP by the girl's mother. You gotta read it to believe it.

HARRISBURG--ILEAS SWAT training in Saline County: In an article that actually appears on page 13 in full color, there's been a lot of training going on in the area. Are they gearing up for something...or are they just having to use it or lose it on grant money? Read and see.

WAYNE CO.--Sheriff, deputy subject of suit: This is a late breaking story that came to us literally on deadline and after the courthouse was closed. Just when you thought things had calmed down pretty much in Wayne County, up pops something from a year ago that's landed the sheriff and a deputy in hot water. Call Sonny McCulley, boyz, and ask what he'd do.

Yep. This is a nekkid boob shot. We just edited out the boobs. Well, the appendages. The REAL boob is shown right here.

MARION--Badge bunny sued over death of motorcyclist: Print coverage of the story we brought to you during production week about infamous Brittany Badge Bunny Lane being sued by the widow of the man who died in a Brittster-related collision last fall. This is the full report over what you got online, so don't miss this; it'll set the stage for everything to come.

SALINE CO.--OPs fly in Anna Bixby-related case: This was one we didn't expect to see when we went courthouse crawling in Saline, but it was too interesting to not produce....and there were a lot of people who had a lot of questions about it. Hopefully, in this article, we've cleared those up.

BACK PAGE

WHITE CO.--Personal attacks continue against man who shot dog: The follow up to last issue's big front-pager about the misdirection a dumb 20-something put the public through about her pit bull being shot...and in this issue, you get to see the distraction techniques she engages in until she was called out on it.

GALLATIN CO.--More input into Downen perks at IDOC: We had a lot of people wondering if the information we produced in the May-June issue on Bobby Downen was all there was to the story. It wasn't; here's some more.

PAGE 2

WILLIAMSON CO.--Bradley loses law license for two years: Recap, for our print readers, of what happened about two weeks ago with Josh Bradley, Marion attorney who's been badbadbad with peoples' cases and money.

JASPER CO.--Geier probate: Son takes custody of brother: In the third installment of what's been going on in the probate case of Don Geier since his untimely death at the hands of a man whose wife Geier was boinking, Geier's boys get together to take care of business.

FEATURE

Disclosure’s correspondent Becky Grimes in Marion was allowed to ride the rails in order to take effective photos showing the different aspects of RailRoad Safety Enforcement in Marion on Wednesday, June 17.

EGYPT

HARDIN CO.--Hardin's Williams clan continues to feud: A timely situation, given the massive pill bust going on in Hardin County Wednesday, July 1, about the Williams clan and the infighting that goes on when possible inbreeding is going on.

SALINE CO.--Cocaine convict jailed after allegedly threatening to show nude photos to woman's family, husband: Listen. If you take nekkid pics of yourself and send them to someone, those don't come with an automatic warning about "not using them for any purpose other than fwapping." However, our Illinois legislators, in their infinite wisdom, somehow protected the Marching Morons who insist on taking pics of their parts and sending them around to every Tom, Dick & Harry...or in this case, James. Who's the one who's in trouble. Personally, we believe that if you take pics of yourself naked and send them to other people, you should be charged with trafficking porn. Period.

SALINE CO.--Saline County misdemeanors include repeat offenders and a guy up from Cave: A cute little misdemeanor story out of Saline, which we've started to pick up now since it looks like the "local" daily paper isn't interested in covering misdemeanors anymore...and really, it could fold any day now. Should we do a weekly in Harrisburg? Possibly. We'll keep you posted.

JASPER CO.--Disturbing the dead in Jasper County, by way of farming: We love stories like this. Because you have to wonder: Did Farmer John KNOW he was roughing up gravesites with his massive disker, or did he just run willynilly over them in an effort to get that ONE MORE ACRE of soybeans??

Crazy Jan. She lost. Nobody won. Except maybe some attorneys.

COOK CO. via EDGAR CO.--Disturbed woman's frivolous suit dismissed: In a hilarious and unexpected turn of events, Crazy Jan Burno's nutty lawsuit in which she was endeavoring to prove it was US "harassing" her on topix has been tossed out of Cook County court. All that money spent for nothing, FatJan. Listen...if we wanted to harass you, why would we go on topix where there are ONES of readers: you, Susan Feldhake and Roy Finley? We'll just stay here, where today, we got roughly 25,000 views. Yep. Don't choke on that spoon that you had in DuaMe's dark, dank recesses. We know how you like that kinda stuff.

RICHLAND CO.--Woman with meth lets dog damage car: Now. We've heard of a lot of different types of criminal damage to property. But it takes a special kind of alleged meth head to come up with letting her DOG do the damage.

OLNEY--Where is workman's comp case involving former Olney mayor Tom Fehrenbacher?: Did you know that former mayor Tom is under the gun by the Workmen's Comp division of Illinois insurance? Yup. It's a big case...so big that some of the proceedings had to be moved to Effingham instead of held in Olney...not because of size, but because of the adverse influence of people like David Hyde. Even state-level boys know how corrupt things are in Richland.

Flavius Earp

RICHLAND CO.--Earp sued for legal fee non-payment to Racklin after retaining high-priced Drew: Note to Flavoflav: In order to establish credibility within the court system, pay off your first attorney before retaining another. At least make efforts to make payments. Because we can tell you...word gets around when you welch. I mean, hell, break into some places in Olney and make some money for Clark and Hurn. Not like you haven't done it before...right?

WABASH CO.--Mt. Carmel meth felon facing drug charge: Not a lot of BIG news out of Wabash this issue like there was last issue...but what we do have is really interesting. Now if Cassandra would just do something meaningful with these crims.

WHITE CO.--Eldorado doper busted for cooking meth in White Co.: This guy didn't have a whole lot of luck in Saline County. Why on earth he would think he'd fare better in White, with the prosecutor and judges they have there, is beyond human comprehension.

GALLATIN CO.—While Illinois Department of Corrections personnel are being very guarded about the situation with a Gallatin County inmate, more information is being revealed that shows the matter is still one of concern.

Disclosure first brought the report about the matter of Bobby Downen, Jr., to the public in May.

Information was obtained at that time that showed that there was a situation in which Downen, convicted of a battery felony in 2014 and sentenced to DOC out of Gallatin County on that conviction, was either taking advantage of (or was being taken advantage of) leniency within the walls of Shawnee Correctional Center and their gardening program, since Downen is a member of one of Gallatin’s major farm families.

The information indicated that the Downens were assisting in providing soil, manure and equipment in aid to the Vienna prison’s program…until it came to the attention of several people, some inmates, some of them other DOC employees, all of whom began questioning exactly what was going on a SCC. At that point the aid stopped, and Downen was transferred to Big Muddy Correctional Center (BMCC) in Ina.

This, too, according to sources at SCC, was questionable in and of itself.

These sources advise that Downen “was supposed to be transferred to a northern prison. It was switched to a southern prison. Why?”

The original source advised in May that DOC employees Bret Neighbors and Jay Medley were in charge of contacting Downen’s family (in particular, his elderly father, a farmer in Gallatin) and arranging the provision of the materials to the prison.

The new source, however, has stated that “Shawnee administration knew from recorded phone calls between Bobby Downen and Bobby Downen’s brother that getting the manure, lime and tiller into Shawnee would be a go. Neighbors told Downen that it would not be a problem. Downen’s brother asked for Neighbors at the sallyport gate. Neighbors approved of said materials to be dumped inside the prison fences.”

Further, a new name has been brought into the mix: Assistant Warden of SCC, Cami Etienne, who, it’s been alleged, along with Jay Medley “visited with the inmate (Downen) and inmate’s family for roughly one hour after one of the deliveries were made.”

And a new allegation has surfaced: A cousin of Downen, the source has advised, works for “an outside contractor replacing windows at Shawnee CC for about seven months. This is a conflict of interest and a security breach. He worked until they transferred Downen to another prison.”

Disclosure is working on learning the name of this Downen relative.

Disclosure contacted IDOC a week before the original article appeared in the May-June edition, ultimately reaching one Nicole J. Wilson, who had taken the place of former DOC spokesperson Tom Shaer to handle matters such as this.

On May 22, IDOC spokesperson Wilson advised Disclosure via email:

“The IDOC is investigating the allegations concerning Mr. Neighbors and Mr. Medley and cannot comment at this time.”
